This is a chapter I've been waiting to write. I think you'll see why later on...

Ariel's Song

It was only a few minutes before the concert began. Luna and Kitty caught up with Mr. and Mrs. Platz and were in the center of the front row (Kitty insisted on these seats). Val was actually futher back talking to Ace on her Hunter VG. The crowd was huge, had to be at least a hundred people.

The stage as a whole was really nice. This wasn't the kind of concert where everyone had to stand (Luna was very grateful for that) and the whole stage had a water theme to it.

Val crossed her legs and adjusted her position in her seat as she spoke to Ace.

"These seats are really uncomfortable," Val said.

"Really, I heard that they were the best," Ace said on the holographic screen.

"I don't see why I'm still here. She doesn't seem to think Neo Arcadia will be a problem." Ace rolled his eyes when he heard that.

"You mean you actually spoke to her about that? Val, you're supposed to be on your day off."

"Neo Arcadia or Planet FM could attack at any moment. We have to be ready. Besides, I've been letting everyone else fight so much, I think I'm ready to get my hands dirty."

"Now Val-"

"Oh, it's about to start. Gotta go," she said cutting the connection with Ace, and right when he looked like he was about to say something.

Kitty was holding onto Luna's arm, "Luna, thank you again for this. This is the first time I've ever been to a live performance," Kitty said.

"Really? This is at least my third, but all of those were Sonia Strumm concerts. I'm glad I could do this for you Kitty," Luna said with a smile.

"And I'm glad that I can spend my first concert with you Luna," Kitty said sincerely. Luna and Kitty looked into each others eyes, and they could both feel their friendship growing. The concert started and they turned to the stage, Kitty resting her head on Luna's shoulder.

Mr. and Mrs. Platz looked at them, and couldn't hold in their smiles. They were really fond of Kitty and seeing her and Luna like this made them feel even better about what they planned on doing after the concert.

The concert was really nice. Luna had to admit even though she wasn't much of a fan of Ariel's singing at first, she was definitely getting her CD now. Not only was she a singer, but she was a dancer as well, and a good one. It was down to the last few songs and Luna was getting thirsty.

"Hey, I'm going to get something to drink Kitty. Do you want anything?" Luna asked.

"I'm okay Luna, thanks though," Kitty said. Luna got up and slowly made her way to he exit.

Luna went to a stand and ordered a soda. Not ready to go back inside, she decided to drink her soda outside. Xerox materialized next to Luna.

"She seems to really like you," Xerox said.

"Well, yeah. I like her a lot too. She's the first girl I've ever bonded with like this," Luna said.

"You know, I'm no expert on human mannerisms, but he way she clings to you it's almost like she's in love with you."

In response that Luna just shrugged. She looked at it like she was just hat affectionate. It really wasn't that big of an idea to her.

Inside the main stage area, Ariel walked up to the microphone.

"I just wanted to thank all of my loyal fans for coming to hear me sing. This next song is really special to me, as it's the song I plan on going out on. Whether this is my last song forever or not only the tides will know."

"What is she talking about?" Mrs. Platz asked her husband, who shrugged his shoulders. Kitty was shaking her head in fear.

"Issac never told me about..." she said to herself in horror. She knew without even having to hear the rest what this meant...

Ariel was with Neo Arcadia...

Luna and Xerox were walking back to their seats. When they reached the door though they were shocked to see that the door was locked.

"That's weird," Luna said.

"Why did they close the stage?" Xerox asked.

"I have no idea," Luna's Hunter VG went off at that moment showing a picture of Kitty, "Kitty? What is it?"

"Luna, Ariel's acting weird! She started singing her last song and then the temperature went down. It's freezing in here!"

Luna got scared, "Are you okay in there? What about my parents?" Luna asked frantically.

"We're fine, don't worry! Where are you?"

"I'm right outside! I'm going to get help, just make sure my parents are safe!"

"Okay Luna, hurry back!" Kitty hung up and Luna turned to Xerox.

"Xerox, we're up!" Luna said.

"Got it!" Xerox said before flying behind Luna, who held her hand up.

"Transcode 666! Zero!" Xerox embraced Luna from behind and they both vanished in a red light.

Zero used the Wave Road to get inside the stage. Inside it looked like a blizzard. On the stage was a woman that looked like Ariel, only her blue hair had a more silver tint to it, she was wearing skimpy blue upper body armor, and her lower body was that of a blue fish or a dolphin.

"Xerox, think that's our Neo Arcadia officer?" Zero asked.

"Yep. You know, I wasn't too crazy about her singing," Xerox stated before Zero jumped up on the stage.

"Who are you?" Zero asked pointing her sword at the EM Being.

"You must be the EM Being that stopped Centarus Flame's rampage. Thank you for that by the way," the EM Being said.

"You didn't answer my question!" Zero stated.

"How rude of me. I'm Delphinus Ice, registered under Transcode 089. You're Transcode 666, Zero right? That's a haunting Transcode number, hope it's not an omen," Delphinus Ice stated, making Zero annoyed.

"Don't change the subject! Why are you here?"

"The same reason Centaurus Flame attacked that school. Create panic to get the Nightmare Virus."

"You guys are sick!" Xerox said.

"I have to agree," Val said behind Zero. Zero turned to her in shock.

"Val? Are you okay" she asked.

"I'm fine Zero. This Delphinus Ice sealed off the doors using a virus. I'd bet that Lynx is somewhere close by too, right?" Val asked. Delphinus Ice chuckled.

"Yes, I saw her. She knows that I'm here now," Delphinus Ice stated.

"And I don't appreciate being left in the dark meow!" Lynx said before landing across from Zero and Delphinus Ice. Zero looked at Lynx seriously.

"Damn it! Why are you here?" Zero asked.

"Well, while I'm here I might as well do my part and make sure the Nightmare Virus it absorbed," Lynx said with a smile. Zero just glared att Lynx angrily.

"Excellent," Delphinus Ice said turning her back to everyone, "Lynx, I'm counting on you to take care of Zero."

"Just don't hurt anyone. That's not why we're here meow," Lynx said seriously. Zero thought that was odd. Why did she care that much?

"If I can handle the virus, then don't worry," Delphinus Ice said, "Otherwise, I can't promise anything," before Lynx could protest, Delphinus Ice Transed into the stage projector's Wave Space. Lynx looked down in aggrivation, and then looked at Zero and Val.

"I'm sorry meow, but I can't allow you to get in that Wave Space!" Lynx stated.

"You can't be serious Lynx!" Zero said, "You don't want to hurt these people! Delphinus Ice doesn't care about them! If she gets out of hand, then these people will be in danger! Do you want that?"

"No, I don't..." Lynx said partially to herself, "But I can't disappoint Issac. Delphinus Ice will control the virus meow."

"You don't know that!" Zero shouted, just as the Nightmare Virus began to form. Zero got really scared, "Damn it!" She looked at Lynx angrilly, who was getting in a fighting stance.

"I can't let you interfeer this time meow!" Lynx said seriously. Zero activated her sword and got in a fighting stance, but she really didn't want to fight Lynx right now.

Before they could fight, Val walked forward, "Leave this to me Zero," she said, surprising Zero.

"What?" Zero said.

"I'm not a Satella Police commander for nothing, you know," Val said with a smirk. She then looked at Lynx confidently, "Your fight is with me this time, Lynx."

"And who are you supposed to be?" Lynx asked.

"Some people call me Den-Tech City's star, some people call me the Satella Police Princess, you Lynx, can call me... Elpizo," Val said, shocking Lynx actually.

"You mean... that Elpizo?" Lynx shouted.

(Play Song: Determined Eyes/Mega Man ZX Advent)

Val held her right arm up a bit, revealing her Hunter VG. She then put her other hand to the switch at the side.

"Transcode, 1... 2... 3...!" she shouted as she flicked the switch after each number, she then held up her arm, "Elpizo!"

A green wave came out of her Hunter VG and was flying all around Val. Her red dress vanished and was quickly replaced by a dark red jump suit with armored high heels. The green wave wrapped around her and turned into a long and fancy red and white Victorian Style gown that was open in the front to reveal Val's legs. Val closed her eyes and a golden crown, golden chocker with a green emerald in the center, and emerald earrings appeared. She opened her eyes, which glowed green for a second, and a fencing sword appeared in her right hand. She spun around and pointed her sword at Lynx, ending her transformation.

Valerie Sanders had EM Wave Changed into Princess Elpizo.

Zero just stood there watching Elpizo in shock.

"Transcode... 123?" Zero asked.

Elpizo rushed at Lynx and started thrusting at her. Lynx looked overwhelmed as Elpizo was extremely fast. Elpizo kicked Lynx to the ground and turned to Zero.

"Hey Zero, don't you have a Wave Battle to get to?" Elpizo asked.

"Huh?" Zero said shaking herself out of her daze.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Lynx. Just take down Delphinus Ice before she absorbs the virus."

Zero nodded and ran into the projector's Wave Space.

The inside of the projector was frozen solid, and there was a large lake in the center. Delphinus Ice came out of the lake and looked at Zero with a confident smile.

"So that other woman was the Satella Police Princess, Elpizo," Delphinus Ice said crossing her arms, "I knew Lynx wouldn't be able to keep you from Transing In."

Zero pointed her sword arm at Delphinus Ice, "Delphinus Ice, I can't allow you to get the Nightmare Virus! If you get infected then the people outside in the Real World will be in danger!"

"That's a chance I'm willing to take," Delphinus Ice said simply, shocking Zero and Xerox.

"What?" Zero asked.

"In the persuit to get the Nightmare Virus, there may be casualties. In the end those people lost will know that their lives will be a part of our master plan."

"You guys are sick!" Xerox said, "You're willing to kill thousands of people just to start a war with Planet FM?"

Delphinus Ice laughed, "War? Oh no, our goal is total annihilation."

That statement shocked both of them. How could they dstroy the entire planet? Not only was it light years away, but it was comprised completely of EM Waves.

"How could you destroy Planet FM?" Zero asked "No weapon could ever-"

"That's where you're wrong. There is a weapon strong enough and capable of destroying Planet FM. An ancient weapon from a society lost long ago."

"Ancient...?" Zero had to think about that. What kind of weapon could destroy EM Waves, and be ancient. No society in ancient times used EM Waves... right?

"But I think we've spent enough time talking," Delphinus Ice saidholding her arms forward in a fighting stance of sorts, "Zero, I'm afraid if you insist on getting in our way then I'll have no choice but to delete you."

"You mean try!" Zero said getting into her fighting stance. She then shouted...

"Wave Battle! Action!"
